Coping with the Revise
BY Margaret Gelbwasser
Up until a few years ago, a revised piece meant that I had read it over twice and double-checked grammar and context. Blame it on my high school English teachers. Then, I began working on a novel and realized - wonder of wonders - that so much more is needed to make a creative work flow. Those of you who have long mastered the art of revision may be smirking, but better to learn late than never, right? And on the chance that there are writers still out there that are stuck on how to revise—or those who have revision down to a science but are looking for new ways to approach this subject—I thought I would share some pearls (or cubic zirconia) of wisdom.

The Titanic Effect...And The Criminal Justice System
BY Susan Levine
It is both astonishing, not to mention deeply disturbing, how the serious - and potentially fatal - flaws in our current 'criminal justice' system bear a remarkable similarity to those of the ill-fated ship, the Titanic. What is equally alarming is that no one realizes just how similar until we or someone we know has a personal head-on collision with the "iceberg."

Running the Race
Running the Race
In Deerfield this past week, 19 year old black woman Alicia Harden was arrested for writing hate letters to minority students, saying that she was going to kill them and other great stuff. She did this all in the name of getting out of Trinity University. I thought maybe doing too many drugs, crashing a car through the building, or just the normal sitting down and talking to your parents about your feelings would do, but hey, what do I know? By passing these letters around, she could tell her parents that she was scared because her peers were being targeted, and they would take her out of the school. Apparently during an interrogation, Harden confessed and there really was no stink about it except concern and worry. Yet, imagine if Harden was white. Do you think the outcome would be the same?

The Schiavo Factor
The Schiavo Factor
Hello friends. Welcome to the Journal. On June 9, 1999, my mother passed away. She was kept alive by machines for 11 days, and my family decided that day, it was time to end her suffering since that is the way my mother would want it. She did not want to live her life as a vegetable. I thought she might have a chance, but my family was set on the fact she was not going to come back as the woman we loved. In my heart from time to time, I wonder what if. My girlfriend says she felt my mother squeeze her hand, but she was not waking up. It is a day that is very difficult for me to talk about, and it was a day that changed the way life was forever. Fast forward to today, a woman named Terri Schiavo, who has been in this condition for quite a while has died today. She spent 13 days off a feeding tube after her husband had it removed saying that Terri wanted it that way. Her parents fought and involved judges, which then brought in right wing conservatives fighting for the cause to keep her alive. Even while she was starving and decomposing, Florida governor Jeb Bush was interjecting himself into a matter that he had no business getting involved in.

Parents Regretting Parenthood;More Common Than You Think

Although the survey was hardly scientific – she didn’t claim that it was – it was still a strong indication that more couples regret being parents than some of us like to believe.
